Eeek!
So, I think I may be suffering from some LIW-itis! I'm getting ahead of the actual situation. We decided to put looking for a ring on hold til after our vacation in mid-June. We came to this decision for two reasons 1) WHEN I do find a ring--- bf doesn't want for my ring to hold us back from having a good time while we are gone due to finances being tied up. 2) I'm just getting discouraged-- I look at ring after ring-- and nothing "compares" to the one that I saw that is too costly. --- When he suggested this- I was kinda bummed... I kinda thought that maybe on vacation was when we'd get engaged... I guess not. Oh well... It'll come- I'm not stressed about that.
That being said- I have been thinking/dreaming wedding like CRAZY! I'm getting ready to be off for the next 10 wks-- SO I know it's only going to get worse. I'm not really "planning"--- but just getting some ideas in place. We are paying for everything ourselves... and are on a TIGHT budget-- So I'm comparing prices and just trying to get a feel of what all we can afford... and with the kind of time off I have... it seems like Prime wedding planning time. BUT, I don't want to without the ring! So I'll start looking at stuff... and it'll turn into an all evening thing. I'm going to start timing it and allowing for only 30 minutes/day.
Ahhh... Need more ways to cope!
